Ben Seacrest of Accurate Reels explains the ins and outs of fishing with Hookup Baits including rigging techniques, gear selection and fishing techniques. He's a big fan, and here's why! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JA7QfgDkno&sns=em See and share the original post on video from YouTube.

We were so pumped that Round 1 of the Battle of the Bays event in Mission Bay went so smoothly! Not to mention that our our good friend and great Hookup Baits customer Norm Shoemaker won the tournament!!! 54 were registered and about 45 launched and fished the event, with 18 in the Big Fish side pot and only 4 in the Mity Might contest. All that paid and registered for the tourney will be in the Cedros drawing on July 14th. It was pretty darn foggy early as the guys launched. The wind really picked up as the day went on. The fishing and the Angler submissions were pretty slow in the morning, The photos submissions seemed to pick-up as the tide started to fill in later in the morning. The fishing on the outside was very slow for most of the anglers that made the long, windy and foggy peddle out there. Two kayaks flipped on the outside and needed boat support. I think they're going to shut down the outside fishing next year as this is the second year with guys having issues on the outside. They'll tweak the rules and maybe the date so more people have time for submissions and involvement since they'll be stuck inside the bay next year. Winners 1st - Our good friend, Norm Campbell, kicked some butt yesterday and won by 14.5 inches with a total bag of 47" to take first place and win a $500 gift card to Dana Landing. [...]

Al Vasquez, Hookup Baits tournament partner, was frustrated with using scents that were hard to apply to the inside of a Hookup Baits jigs. So through the last year of tournaments he has been working on the scent consistency, scent strength, color and type of bottle that would be easy to use with the jigs. This scent really works and is designed for easy application. It can be used for all fish types and is offered in three scent flavors in a 2 oz. and 4 oz. bottle. Come by our booth at Fred Hall Show in Long Beach to pick up the scents! You don't want to miss having these when you're fishing the Hookup Baits jigs! Mermaids Milk Garlic Scent (2 oz. and 4 oz.)

Who doesn't like a good raffle?! This year, be sure to stop by our booth at the Fred Hall Show in Long Beach to purchase a raffle ticket. You won't want to miss the opportunity to take home a Hookup Baits custom surfboard handmade by designer Josh Oldenburg! Tickets will be $5 a piece, so hurry before they're all gone! To learn more about different seminars and other sponsors/participants, check out the Fred Hall website here. Functionality is first and foremost a part of Josh’s design aspect. Josh builds boards start to finish and handshapes all of his boards. He likes to use organic design elements in the glassing of his shapes. His designs are unique because boards from the past largely inspire Josh. Being able to transform those inspirations into modern designs gives him a sense of freedom to incorporate new takes on old creations. The best way to keep designs and creativity fresh is through Josh’s forms of inspiration. His biggest advantage is that he builds nearly 100 percent of his boards based on custom referrals for specific customers. Tailoring the designs to fit their needs always keeps the building process new and energized. Come support Hookup Baits and get some more knowledge on fishin'! We hope to see you all there!

Mint has always been a popular color in the ocean with plastic and metal lures. Many bait fish have blue tints to them so it is only natural to bring out a blueish mint color bait. We have tested different shades of the color over the past year and it has been very productive on all game fish. We are launching this color to our valued customers at the Fred Hall Show in Long Beach from trout to tuna sizes! Make sure to come out and be the first to experience this new product! Available ONLY at our Fred Hall Show booth March 7-11, 2018! ONLINE AVAILABILITY COMING SOON!

Testimonials

Hookup baits is now my go to bait! Love the action, and love the reaction from the fish. Just ordered online for the second time, and this is the second time I get them from them the very next day after they ship, which is awesome considering the estimated delivery is 3 days. Keep doing what yo(...)

Caught this last weekend on a 1.5oz green sardine! Best picture I could get of the bait in the mouth was the first picture, it was a video so didn’t get a great shot of the lure and it bounced the lure out of the mouth on the deck. Hope you can use it! We were fishing off of La Jolla! First fis(...)

I ended up buying and trying the original. I tried the Chovy 5/8 oz 4" 2 for $9.99. Love em. I used only artificial that day including yours. I caught fish while 4 others used only live bait. 1 live bait user also caught fish and all the rest got skunked. Thanks for your help! I'm telling everyone!

Been fishing since I was 5 and I've never caught a legal halibut, until NOW!!!! All thanks to #hookupbaits what a blast!!!! Murdered the bass, cuda, juvenile WSB and countless short butts! Hookup Baits <3

Used the 1/4 and 3/8 oz white shad and chovie baits trolling and jigging/casting to catch these lake Mead stripers. They produced when the normal lures and bait wouldn't. Great new weapon in our arsenal!!

Ran my brothers 28 foot Sea Dory to the reef off of San Gregorio in about 60 to 70 feet of water. I was with my old time fishing buddy Perry who has fished the Bay Area all his life. We used the 1.5 oz chovy Hook Up baits and hooked 8 lings along with other quality varieties of local rockfish. (...)

So this was at Shelter Island Pier. Fish caught was a Halibut. Was so stoked until O measured. It came out to 21 in". Had to release him, otherwise he would've been tacos. It was a great HookUp regardless. Bait used was 1/4 oz Chovy. Few more types were caught. It was great!! Thanks Hook Up Bai(...)

Unexpected package in the mail today! Big Props to HookUp Baits and thanks to Chad and Jojo for doing it right! You guys are awesome! Thanks for the HookUp and making it right. Hottest lures in SD.#hookupbaits #getyours #brown_and_gold.

Alright Hookup Baits! I'm sold! I've been buying your stuff at LP Fishing Supply. Handed some out to the kids at the last Oceanside Anglers meeting and raffled some off on a 3/4 day family charter last Saturday. Well yesterday I went and fished the Carlsbad Lagoon with em and oh my! What a day!(...)

Chad, Jojo, and staff. Thank you for being such strong supporters of our SDAnglers Club and the many activities that makes this club so special. Most importantly, thank you for supporting our Active Military & Vets through our Warriors on the Water projects.

I took advantage of Hookup Baits 2yr special the other day. They got the package delivered the very next day. Props to Chad, Jojo, Ben, and crew for the amazing service, and even more important, delivering the fish killers. I typically do more damage with these Baits than the rest of the boat, (...)

The largest of the Calico bass were caught on the "Hook-up" baits. In the Junior jackpot, (a large Calico) took first place on a Hook-up bait. I think this was about 5 lbs. A big thanks to Dwayne our Charter Master. He orchestrated a great charter last night. For our first trip of the year, we (...)

I thought would let you know that I love your lures and have caught many Calico Bass on the 1 1/2 oz. jigs. But my favorite though so far was catching 3 Ling Cod on the 4 oz. mint out at Santa Rosa Island. My friend Jim Dunkle placed his order the next day!

Best thing since live bait. Seeing the Hookbait crew on the water and on facebook is always a Joy. From the company it's self to the good times/fish the customers (including me) get it's been the only thing in my fishing journey that lived up to the hype. 10/5 stars

I was lucky enough to cross path with you guys at Day At The Docks this year and even luckier to win a starter kit from you via the SDBB. I just finished trying out the baits and they are amazing! They are so effective and easy to use that even my 4-year old son was able to catch his first spot(...)

All I can say don't blink on the sink. Really good bait. There is a technique to use these guys they're not a swimbait. Would highly recommend looking up YouTube video of Chad demonstrating how to use the bait if you don't know how to use it. Once you learn it you're going to Slay the fish.

My name is Susan Stutz and live in San Diego and there is nothing I'd rather do than fish! My dad told me about your product (he saw them at the Day at the Docks) so of course I wasted no time and trying out your product....so here's my experience using your baits; they work AWESOME!!! We kille(...)

I just returned from taking my 12 year old grandson out for his first trip of the year and just wanted you to know that he caught his first yellowtail using your hook up baits red crab plastics. He is hooked for life !!❤️!! ...the red crab was the hot choice for the day. Thank you for a great p(...)

Freshwater fishing in the morning. Saltwater by night. Landed this sick calico on a 5/8 hookup bait! 1st of the year and it’s a legal size!! Photo cRedit @g_h_fishing fishing with @fishingmissionbay and @g_h_fishing #saltlife #sdfishing #winterfishing #fishinginthewind #hookupbaits

Was at Fred hall show on Wednesday bought $900.00 of your baits. 1st time I put your new sauce on red crab...nice 20 lb. halibut! Just want to let you it works. Also we had over 100 bass, sand bass and calico’s! Love your baits.

I tell you what Hookup Baits are legit. I usually just drop mine and do zero action to it. It does all the work. Sometimes I just let it sit and it will get bit. I am buying a Shimano Saragosa spinning reel set up today based off of a recommendation from Chad. I have been using a bait caster bu(...)

While some of us were fishing the island looking for quality models, Joe Wilson and Duane Dinnocente found some fine specimens near shore. The story was they caught them on fly lined fined bait but who knows they could of been using Hookup Baits baits. Keep a eye out for these guys.
